In 2009, the day after Mother's Day we produced a Mother's Day Show and kept it in order with our format of Bay-Funk. If you like Bay Area Rap from the G-Funk era and you like your mother, this is the show for you. We believe this one should go down in the iRadio Hall of Fame as the Best Mother's Day show (oops!) Best After-Mother's Day show ever.

Celebrate Mother Everyday, because Mother's Day should be everyday. You agree, yes?

(Richmond CA 1994) I began work on my second project the album "5.0 REASONS (Fifty Reasons)". I met Poorman Dre in my search for an affordable studio with good sound. quality

Poorman Dre and I were introduced through the producer Big Park of Ashy Knuckles Productions. Big Park was working nights at K-Lou Studio. Big Park took me to Poorman Productions. Poorman Dre would engineer and mix the project, also produce the tracks "5.0 Reasons" and "3D's". We built a constructive relationship around the project, now known around the world as a classic album of Golden-Era Bay Area G-Funk.

Eventually, Poorman Dre would offer to me space in the new location to operate my company, Travlyrics Productions & Graphics Design. The goal was to become a one-stop shop for the artist seeking to create retail CDs, Cassettes and Vynil.

From 1995 to 2002, I watched Poorman Dre put together a thousand great records ... Bay Funk, G-Funk, G-Rap, R&B, Soul, Pop, Salsa, and New Bay. Many of the records and graphics were not released or lost due to confusion of street business. It is truly a damn shame.

With that said, this podcast includes several records to survive the ring of fire. Enjoy.

Today was a special day, for two reasons:

Reason #1: We have a special guest. A discussion with the 1st rapper from Richmond, California to release a real record, Disco Alamo. The 12" entitled "The Task Force" was released in 1986 on GlobeTown Records. Pre Golden-Era, but a history lesson for sure. Alamo called-in live from Hawaii to discuss Classic Bay Area Rap and his current position with the energy drink company, Hunid Racks founded by another Richmond alumni Annette McFarland.

Reason #2: Breez of Diamond-Style Productions in New Siberia, Russia just released an instrumental album to showcase his production. Breez and I have collaborated on 3 tracks to be featured on the coming album "YBBI : Gone International". With that said, Breez gave me the OK to spin his instrumentals on the show. So you get a real dose of Breez under the Discussion and YBBI breaks.
